Care Guide
Failing to flower after the first year is due to a lack of potash fertiliser, which is necessary for spurring bloom formation for the following year’s flowering.
Plant large bulbs 15 cm deep and small bulbs 8 cm deep, in well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs on their side to prevent water getting into the hollow crown.
